75 Days to maturity. Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis.. Golden Delicious Cantaloupe Melon Seeds. A non-GMO, annual, heirloom, open-pollinated, heat-tolerant Cantaloupe Melon. Suitable for growing in garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. Resistant to Powdery Mildew (PM) and Fusarium Wilt (FW). This melon was developed at Cornell University in the 1950s: a strong yielding, early ripening melon with numerous fruits weighing between 2 and 4 pounds each. With a thin skin and small seed cavity, the Golden Delicious offers more deep orange flesh than many other cantaloupes. These melons are highly aromatic and have a sweeter flavor than many cantaloupes- a great choice for home gardens. Golden Delicious is our top choice for growing in cooler climates. This variety is sometimes referred to as Golden Cantaloupe or Golden Melon.~900 seeds/oz.
